We brought you the first unofficial word that Capcom's survival-horror Dreamcast masterpiece Resident Evil: Code Veronica was looking very, very likely for PS2. And, sure enough, Capcom made it official today, launching a web page for the game, and sharing some screens and video.

As mentioned in yesterday's article, this version of the game is being called Resident Evil: Code Veronica Complete, and will be released for Dreamcast and PS2. Producer Shinji Mikami, when announcing the game in a conference today, commented that Capcom expects to add story elements to this version that could not be completed in time for the original Dreamcast release. Will there be a new scenario involving Weskar, as our previous information suggested? We'll have to wait and see. Both Dreamcast and PS2 versions of the game will arrive to Japan on March 22nd of next year, the 5 year anniversary of the Biohazard series.

Unfortunately, there's no indication at Capcom's website that these shots and videos are from the PS2 version of the game. The only thing that suggests it to us is that the page makes no reference to the Dreamcast version until the very bottom. Do you see any differences from the Dreamcast original?
